Congratulations on your persistence! Are you doing any new or increased exercising? I've started Karate one month before my 50th birthday - we've got a club in my neighbourhood, so it's a very social thing. My weight is coming down verrrryyyy slowly but I think that's because I'm putting on more muscle . Anyway, I found it really helps with the food cravings.

I know it's not Saturday, but in the day and a half that I was ill, I lost 6lbs. I'd like to get back down to about 14 stone (or just under 200lbs). I was 16st 13lb (237lbs) on Saturday, but now down to 16st 7lb (231lbs).

For the week, I dropped 8lbs, six of which was while I was sick, so now at 16st 5lb.

I've just spent three weeks in Germany. Usually that means a lot of really good food and corresponding weight gain. This time however I managed to stick to my program, while still enjoying the food, and dropped another 5 pounds (164 now). My biggest problem is the fat around my waist; it seems to be very hard to get rid off.

I have sent away for one of schemes which is supposed to help, so I will weigh in today then see how we get on, I want to lose about two stone five pounds, that is 33 pounds. That will take me back to my low last year of ten stone or 140 pounds, but this time I want to do it slowly! If I lose more than a pound or two each week it will affect the clotting time of my blood so I have to be careful.

12 stone, 5 pounds so that is 173 pounds
